State Police Warn Major Road Closures as Trump Heads to Mount Airy Casino
President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at Mount Airy Casino Resort in Paradise Township, Monroe County, on Tuesday evening, triggering a coordinated security and traffic plan that will impact travel throughout parts of the Poconos. According to the Pennsylvania State Police, in coordination with the U.S. Secret Service, several area roadways — including those around Mount Pocono Borough, Coolbaugh, Paradise, and Pocono townships — will be closed or restricted temporarily.

Digital signs now posted along major highways, including interstates 81, 84 and 380, warn motorists that there may be significant delays Tuesday afternoon and evening and advise avoiding the region if possible.
The alert has already impacted local institutions: the Pocono Mountain School District announced an early dismissal — three hours ahead of schedule — and canceled all after-school activities Tuesday to accommodate anticipated road closures.
Local businesses near the resort report they are preparing for an influx of visitors, media crews and event staff. Sources say this could boost demand at nearby restaurants, hotels, and service providers.
With traffic disruptions and heightened security expected to ripple across Monroe County, residents and travelers are being urged to plan ahead, allow extra time for travel, or avoid the area altogether during the evening hours.
